Saw mention of this in the last hour. It has supposedly been burning for about 12 hours.

One post mentioned a helicopter fire.

There is a reason that the USN practices fire drills continuously (at least, they used to), and that is that an effective fire brigade can save a ship from disaster.

Yep, now those drills have been replaced by BLM Lectures and Drag Queen shows, so God help us if there’s a fire on one of our naval vessels.

My screencaps are not showing up but there is this YT video in the posting link that hasn’t been scrubbed yet.

Looks like three separate fires.

Maybe they ran into another one of their traps set against the U.S.?

With their economy in a shambles ad their cities still not fully recovered from the historic floods, the loss of a sub and a ship-of-the-line can be a serious weight around the chicom necks...

Right. What was that Navy ship a couple years ago that burned to the waterline in Hawaii? Nobody knew what to do to try to put it out.

Maybe one of the officers was trying to make some money on the side transporting EVs.

China’s People’s Liberation Army - Navy

Their Army-Navy game every year must be really confusing.

US Navy damage control and underway replenishment were literally secret weapons in their infancy. They were massive force multipliers.
